Have you ever????

Hello my AMOS Family, Ok I have a question I would like to hear your answers on, sorry this one is for the post ops but everyone feel freee to answer... Today I was standing in someones office and we have so many windows that you would always see your reflection, well today I had to look a couple of times because I actual liked what I had seen. I know prior to losing the weight I would think to myself when ever I noticed my reflection "OH MY" how had I looked. Today was the first time I really had another kind of thought, though I do not see this when I look into the mirror. I still see the very heavy person and now with icky hanging skin. I mean I do notice my weight loss when I get dressed but it really has not sunk in until this moment today. Has anyone else had this experiance? I am not complaining mind you but it just struck me as weird. Thanks again all ~Hugs~ Debra P

I see my reflection and can't believe its me and have to look again. I am 5 weeks out from my TT and I have lost 208 lbs since my WLS 14 months ago. I am a size 4. I just went back to work this week and I keep hearing how great i look and people call me "Skinny" as a nickname. Its so hard to hear tell me I look good. i will never get use to it. I wish I could get my weight loss to sink in. I look in the mirror and still see that fat girl staring back at me. Grats on feeling so good about how you look Michele

Michele, Yeah I bet with seeing all the weight and extra skin gone that it must feel pretty damn good. WOW a size 4, that is just awesome... I think I was not even born wearing a size 4!!!! I know it must have been soemthing like a 12....I just know it! Well take care ~Hugs~ Debra P

I have never really looked in the mirror, I see only what I have to, like combing my hair , putting on my makeup. Now I look and I like what I see. Naked, is another story. Ugh! Linda

Linda, I have to say that I look at myself all the time to try and see the 92 lbs loss, I do see some but not THAT much. And you are right about the naked part.....I can not wait until I get to goal so I can work on getting the PS.. Take care Debra P

OMG...I cant believe that you are posting this tonight!!! The same thing happened to me tonight when I got home from work. I was getting changed into my gym gear and I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and had to take a double take!! I couldnt believe that it was me!!! Its a GREAT feeling huh??

Lisa, Yes it sure is a great feeling and how weird is that, that we both had the same thing happen to us in the same day. It really feels great but also kind of weird... We will talk more about it when we get together I am sure. Debra P

I was sitting on a bench outside of my son's Tae Kwan Do place, and caught my reflection in the Sam Ash window. I stared. There was this relatively normal person looking back at me. I was pleasantly surprised. I thin****pt looking up from my book for the rest of the time to make sure I saw what I saw. Times flashed in my mind about times I saw the exact opposite. I didn't really think of myself as so huge and out of control, and every once in a while I'll catch a glimpse and get sick to my stomach.... Another thing I have experienced is feeling like I was not really in the right body. Like I'm looking out through a window from an unfamiliar venue. That has been weird.... In the mirror, without clothes, I see a smaller version of rolls and sags and hanging stuff -- the stuff that PS is made for. Someday soon....... A bit closer to ONE-derland. Listen for the screams in the very near future!!!!!!! Feisty Emm 329/271/200.8/somewhere between 149-165?

Hello Again Feisty One ~Hugs~ Yeah it is a great feeling but feels so weird....Funny my Boss this morning said to me WOW you are looking so slim, and look you have some thing OTHER sticking out instead of your belly... OMG ok now I know he meant it in a very nice way but COME ON HERE!! Sometimes he just does not know what to say and how to say it. We call him a social retard! Well I hope to have more good experiences with this and I know you will too. Take care and thanks for sharing... ~Hugs~ Debra P
